California Court of Appeal

In a tort action for the wrongful death of a new-born, judgment against the defendant holding it jointly and severally liable is affirmed in part and reversed in part because common law release rule, not CCP sections 877 and 877.6, applied as a release of the joint and several liability of the defendant.
